Cleared for Takeoff: Step Into the “Airport of the Future” at MWC Barcelona 2026
The future of travel isn’t just coming; it’s landing at MWC Barcelona 2026. This year, we are thrilled to spotlight Airport of the Future, a flagship immersive exhibition that marks a bold new chapter in the Journey to the Future series.
An Immersive Journey
Located at the South Entrance (near Hall 2), this exhibition offers a first-hand look at the next few decades of aviation. Attendees will experience how seamless wireless connectivity and cutting-edge tech are creating a frictionless, personalized, and truly futuristic passenger journey.
The Main Attraction: A Live “Motional Digital Twin”
For the first time ever at a major tech event, experience a full-scale Motional Digital Twin in a live environment. Powered by our Spatial AI partner, Outsight, this exhibit uses advanced 3D LiDAR sensing to:
- Create a real-time digital replica of the exhibition floor.
- Anonymously track passenger flows and movement.
- Provide actionable insights into behavior and operational performance.
It’s a rare opportunity to see the technology already powering major international hubs across five continents in action.
